Hewlett Harbor is a village in Nassau County with a population of 1,271 as of 2000 census. Hewlett Harbor is a mere thirty minutes outside of Manhattan consisting of 439 family homes which border the Seawane Golf and Country Club, the Macy Channel or Willow Pond. The village is named after prominent nineteenth-century biblical scholar John Hewlett, whose family farmed the land three hundred years ago. Mr. Hewlett had a dream to create a safe home and security for himself and his family.

In 1914, the famous layer Joseph Auerbach bought most of the Hewlett land to build a summer residence and stumbled upon the remains of the Algonquin Indian chief during construction. Sewan, or copper beads, were found with the chief’s remains and the famous country club The Seawane Club was built and named after these beads. The country club was sold in the 1920s and most of its two square miles of land was developed for one-family residential lots. The Village was incorporated in 1925 and has been a part of the Town of Hempstead ever since.

Several notable residents have found a home in Hewlett Harbor. Stan “The Man” Lee moved to Hewlett Harbor in the 1950s and lived there until 1980, just long enough for him and his collaborators to revolutionize comic books. Stan Lee introduced the idea that each superhero has a flaw, an idea never incorporated in comic book history. Rob Weiss, the writer of Entourage attended Hewlett High School. Rob Weiss is had his breakout in 1993 film Amongst Friends, the film was well received at several film festivals and was nominated for the Gran Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.
